It appears you need at least net-snmp, and probably net-snmp-devel packages at least, as here is what is on my system:<o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> $ rpm -qa | grep snmp<o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> net-snmp-libs-5.3.1-24.el5_2.2<o:p></o:p> net-snmp-utils-5.3.1-24.el5_2.2<o:p></o:p> net-snmp-5.3.1-24.el5_2.2<o:p></o:p> net-snmp-devel-5.3.1-24.el5_2.2<o:p></o:p> net-snmp-perl-5.3.1-24.el5_2.2<o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> Have you checked for those packages installed, as they are not installed by Nagios, and depending on your linux distro, may not be in the default setup..<o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> I have it on mine, but I use lots of SNMP, so it’s no surprise.. I don’t see any option for checking toner, but maybe that’s a different check… (?)<o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> $ ./check_hpjd --help<o:p></o:p> check_hpjd v1991 (nagios-plugins 1.4.13)<o:p></o:p> Copyright (c) 1999 Ethan Galstad <nagios@nagios.org><o:p></o:p> Copyright (c) 2000-2007 Nagios Plugin Development Team<o:p></o:p> <nagiosplug-devel@lists.sourceforge.net><o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> This plugin tests the STATUS of an HP printer with a JetDirect card.<o:p></o:p> Net-snmp must be installed on the computer running the plugin.<o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> <o:p> </o:p> Usage:check_hpjd -H host [-C community]<o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> Options:<o:p></o:p> -h, --help<o:p></o:p> Print detailed help screen<o:p></o:p> -V, --version<o:p></o:p> Print version information<o:p></o:p> -C, --community=STRING<o:p></o:p> The SNMP community name (default=public)<o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> Send email to nagios-users@lists.sourceforge.net if you have questions<o:p></o:p> regarding use of this software.
